Case Study

Abatement cost curves for Indonesia in 2020, 2030 and 2050

Vivid Economics was commissioned by a major industrial firm to produce three marginal abatement cost curves for Indonesia, representing abatement scenarios in 2020, 2030 and 2050. The project involved reviewing the existing literature on abatement options, forming predictions about changes in the abatement potential and cost of particular levers, conducting independent analysis of some major technological opportunities, and constructing potential policy scenarios. Vivid also identified key sensitivities and uncertainties and collated a summary of important background information, such as existing legislation, government targets, government policies, and so on. The briefing was used as a resource for meetings with local experts and decision makers.
